Welcome to the Sunday Surf! Here are some of the best links I've read this past week.

I had a very gratitude-filled Thanksgiving, celebrated with family and new friends and delicious food made by other people. But the best part is, I can now start listening to Christmas music without feeling sheepish! Happy first Sunday of Advent, if you celebrate that sort of thing. I love something cozy to enjoy as the days grow ever darker.

If you want to contribute to the Wordless Wednesday posts at Natural Parents Network (and we’d love to have you!), our fabulous WW editors, Jorje & Rebekah, have posted the December topics and deadlines at the NPN Forums. Send your holiday pictures in now and sit back and relax the rest of December!

Two fabulous sensory tub setups, here & here: http://onelovelivity.com/childofnatureblog/super-simple-cornmeal-beach-sensory-tub/ I love the colors and care Terri’s put into hers! We recently made one for Mikko out of some dried goods we had languishing in the pantry — much less pretty but still a huge hit.

You can also see how my progress is going here: Halfway or two-thirds? Find out what I've learned about writing, balance, and fear. Since I wrote that, I've finished my novel to the point that I'm having Sam take another look at it. Whenever he gets around to it. Hint, hint, ahem. In the meanwhile, I'm working on the NPN Cloth Diapering book! Also a fun job.

Holiday shopping

I'm a member of a bazillion affiliate programs, which has nearly zero impact on my bank account but does expose me to a lot of great deals. Of course, Black Friday and Cyber Monday are tops on the list for shopping steals and coupons. So I've tried to round up the best picks for natural parents and post them on Hobo Mama Reviews as I have time.
